So I was up at the crack of dawn today to the sound of the kittens doing the derby up and down the corridor! Now they have a collar with a bell it really is a bit of a racket when they are in full pelt! On the plus side I managed to get todays 365 Cards challenge done before heading off to work!
I started with a sheet from a DCWV matstack which I layered with silver card. I then selected a matt silver card to add 3 heart peel-offs with frames onto. Next I put another 3 hearts onto silver mirror card and cut around them leaving a border. These were then raised on the original hearts with 3D foam. I then added silver ribbon (the last that I have left!) with the sentiment: Miss You, with a heart button to the right
Although, because it is so early the light is a little bit funky in the photo! When I get home tonight I will get a better shot!
Just so you can see the terrible twosome, I have added pics of Tango and Pumpkin, on the right. They are now around 10 months old and will soon be too big to be called kittens!
hey bex, i hear you on the missing sleep part!!! great job on today's challenge! hopefully I can get mines up before midnight!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, up at the crack of dawn too!

Great card Bex, love your peel-offs they really make the hearts stand out. I am usually up at about 4am each morning, which is good because I can get a bit of work done before DD wakes up.

Great card, love the colors and the hearts! My cat plays hall derby at 4am too sometimes!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, somebody else who likes peel offs.
ReplyDeleteLove you card, very classy.
Like the piccies of the kittens, you may need to take their bells off to get some more sleep though :)
I only wish I had enough stamps (and ability)to be able to create the effect with embossing, so it is peel-offs for me!
ReplyDeleteHi Bex,
ReplyDeleteYes indeed a lovely card. Kittens did I hear someone say kittens. I love animals, I have a little dog that thinks he is a human and sleeps with us under the bedcovers and two cats, both girls that think they are goddesses the way they lounge around the place. Would not be without animals in my life.
Regards

fabulous take on todays challenge. Very elegant!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Bex. I like the colors you chose.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Bex!! Love the silver accents!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, I like the colors too!
ReplyDeletePretty card Bex. Punkin and Tango are PRECIOUS!!! I love cats, our 2 run the house :-) and I hear you on the missing sleep too, I just started working nights so I come home and make my card for the day before sleeping just so I can post it by the end of the day LOL **amazing what one can do while asleep** ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis card is so elegant and all the silver is just beautiful. I love it great job with this challenge.
ReplyDeleteYour kittens are goreous and look like little angels in this picture. Lately our dog Tigger who is a little over 2 years old has gotten in the habit of having to go potty at 2:oo AM....grrrrrrrrrrr. The other day my DH looked at Tigger and said your cute buddy but your not that cute...he he. I really need to figure out a way to make him do his business when we let him out before we go to bed. He may be a bit of a pain right now but I don't know what we would do without him. I am sure you must feel this way about your two little cuties.
Have a great day and I hope you can catch a nap later today. :-)
I love hearts!! This is such a sweet card!
ReplyDeletehugs, Karen Lee
Bex, Love your card, especially thr hearts! Thanks for your kind words over at my blog yesterday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, and so early in the AM, yikes, adorable fur babies (little brats) :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card Bex, love the colours.
ReplyDeleteI am also an early riser, I love getting up about 5am so I het some time for me before everyone else gets up

You certainly used the peel offs pretty effectively! Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteI love the card, that is sweet with the hearts but you could (IMHO) use that for a male or female you were missing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you have calicos - I love calico cats. My Emma is one, and the late great Amelia was my first (she lived to a crotchety 21 years). They are adorable looking.
I saw that you gave me an award - that is so sweet of you!
Gorgeous card for today's challenge...and your kittens are a-dorable!!!!
